I hope that this finds you all enjoying the pleasures of your wheeled, human powered conveyances regardless of the number of wheels; regardless whether you are leaning forward, sitting upright, or sitting back; regardless of whether you are wearing spandex or a tee shirt and jeans.

Well, maybe, just maybe, Spring has arrived. I got out on my favorite bike today (the yellow Litespeed). It was a hard ride, not because of the roads (my usual training ride) or the wind (hardly any), or the weather (beautiful). It was a hard ride because I do not have many miles in my legs....

Only a few days left to REGISTER for the annual Nokesville Picnic in the Park Ride on Sunday May 20th. This classic ride is in its 21st year! Four routes will explore the gently rolling Virginia country-side. NEW this year is the addition of a “casual” 12 mile route. Each route (12/30/42/53) is covered by our experience Ride Leads (Levels A through D).

The ride finishes with our club picnic at the Nokesville Community Park. This free event is open to all club members and their family/friends! Checkout the Ride Schedule for more information.

We are looking for two excellent/fun ride leads (30 miles B and 30 miles CC) and 1-2 more photographers...contact Mary Ann Breunig to volunteer (mbreunig.sports@gmail.com). See you on May 20th at Nokesville!﻿

On May 18th, thousands of area commuters will enjoy a change of scenery on their commute on Bike to Work Day. Potomac Pedalers is a Bronze Sponsor of the event, and will be present at several sites to welcome and encourage riders on their journey.

Join in the fun! Can you volunteer to introduce yourself to cyclists on behalf of PPTC either en route to work or at one of our booths? We'll be at the following pitstops:

Virginia: Roslyn and Ballston

DC: Freedom Plaza

Maryland: Bethesda

We'll have rack cards with a schedule of our events and a club introduction, as well as free tire levers, to give out to riders.

If you have any questions or would like to volunteer, please contact Anne Hyman, VP Special Events. Join us!
